For the fuel octane rating was it listed as 98 RON? That is the Old World equivalent for US 93 octane. Technically 94 octane US.

I caught the spare brake rotors too.... I am glad to see that I wasn’t the only one wondering what the hell they were thinking. Rotors are really heavy to brings as spares. Also, spare brake pads? Why not just simply swap out your pads for fresh ones at the start of the journey?

I have certainly done the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for people who were like this.

If you don’t like the look of this.... Just wait until you see the non M bodywork. I haven’t ever looked at a BMW and thought the non M looked better than the M bodywork. The way they designed the side skirt on this vehicle seems like the entire reason was to make it easy to offer a M sport and regular look.

Just this last week I had a flight cancelled on Frontier airlines. It was CHS>DEN. Because Charleston is such a small airport, this was Frontier’s only flight to DEN that day. The next 2 days flights were already overbooked. They actually did right by the passengers. There were two options. 1) They would refund the…

I just saw the new LS500 for the first time today. They did a really good job of making the sheet metal wrap around the vehicle tightly. You get that it is a big vehicle, but it looks quite svelte. I was honestly much more impressed with the appearance in person than I thought that I would be. It does look better in…

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

I agree. There is something about the proportions that is just off in my view. I really like how the Model S looks right now too...

The new E class is much much better than the old E class. The interior is way ahead of the old one. The new transmission is much better too. There is just no replacement for the 63 engine though... That is a tough choice.

When you think about just how many cars that have proximity keys.... This doesn’t strike me as that many deaths. More than zero for sure, but less than I might have thought.

I would throw out buying a Prius in the 3-4k range. Low insurance, very good MPG and it will pretty much start until the end of time... Then look into something more fun and less reliable.

Recycling the major component of a electric car will become easier and easier. Especially as the higher use of rare earth metals is driven higher by battery and motor production.

Or a precharged battery or capacitor......

Ha ha the US gov’t is just salty that they cannot get their malware on it first. ;)

Why do companies still seek to build out online video platforms when YouTube is around? Because there is a part of them that wants to compete at the highest level and win. I would imagine that the money for the winners circle is a very large number. More important for many too is the ego trip of being an owner.

The torque out of these turbo engines certainly makes driving a manual easier. Keep driving the good drive!

I drove one in the BMW 328i rental and it was blissful. It was actually the transmission that changed my view that automatics might actually make sense a vehicle I own.

Q. Also, who needs two cruising gears?

It also probably drives like an LS430. Totally vague, but a great place to be if you need to quickly crush a thousand miles of highway.

I would definitely +1 that thought!
